Bangladesh Bank has fixed the maximum limit for cash withdrawal from the bank for the sake of security. From now on no more than 4 lakh cash can be withdrawn from an account. The regulatory agency has issued a notice to the banks that this decision will be applicable until further instructions.

Bangladesh Bank gave this instruction in an urgent message to the bank's managing directors or MDs on Saturday (August 24) night. The management director of several banks confirmed this information to the media.

According to the instructions, even if a customer cannot withdraw more than four lakhs in cash, they can transfer any amount of money to another account and do digital transactions.

Before that, on August 10, it was said that no more than two lakh rupees cash can be withdrawn from the account. Before that, on Thursday, August 8, the customer could not withdraw more than one lakh rupees. On that day it was said that instructions were given only for Thursday.
